Delicious casual spot for South Indian parottas and rotis. Our group of 6 ordered family style, with one parotta each. The food arrived quickly, and we found everything delicious--can't speak to authenticity, though! \\ chicken 65 - the chicken was delightfully crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside - very flavorful and not too spicy \\ cauliflower manchurian - didn't know cauliflower could be this texture! also crispy and a little chewy on the outside, soft and juicy on the inside - the manchurian sauce was a little tangy, a little spicy \\ mutton biriyani - easily two servings and was plenty for our group with the other dishes, too - fragrant rice with punchy spices and warm lamb that wasn't too gamey \\ mutton curry with parotta - this was my favorite curry--a little spicy, very savory - the parotta were so fresh and crispy and soft! i could eat just parotta but it carried the curry so well too \\ butter chicken with parotta - a little sweet and pretty spicy - doesn't look like a big dish but a little goes a long way \\ mango lassi - sweet, creamy - the perfect counter to the spicy curries The menu says they don't accept tip, and the service was fantastic regardless. There's plenty of parking nearby. A little pricey but would love to visit again, maybe for the weekend thali! read more

A very authentic crowd, hits the Indian spot! Tried the dosa and butter chicken. The dosa was crispy and chewy and freshly made. Came with three sauces that were very flavorful. The butter chicken felt too rich for me personally. It came with paratha which was good, very flaky. read more

Thiru Kuppusamy Unavagam - DOSA - Indian Near Me - Irving, Texas

I was in the area on business and was craving Indian food. The flavor was great and not overly spicy. I had the chicken masala. The service was good. I felt like since I was a take out customer I wasn't really given the dine in experience. The reason for 3* is when you can't provide customers with eating utensils or a paper plate and you're handed your food in something smaller than a Wal-Mart bag we have a problem. read more

Made a lot of right decisions yesterday! After a lot of thinking between Thai vs Indian food for dinner, I convinced myself to go with Thiru Kuppusamy Unavagam (South Indian) Found the table in no time even though the restaurant looked busy on a Wednesday night. I took that as a good sign. I ordered 'Madurai mutton Kal dosai' and Kalakki for dinner. I also got Rasam rice and Madurai mutton varuval to go. It took about 10 minutes to get kal dosai and kalakki. Kal dosai served with mutton gravy and coconut chutney. Coconut chutney was mid but Kal dosai tasted better with mutton gravy :) About the Rasam rice and Mutton varuval I ordered to go, Is there a better combination than this? I mean seriously!!! Rasam rice tasted really good and the gravy in mutton varuval complimented it well. Meat cooked really well not too oily either. 5/5 TBH! Service was great and they also asked my feedback on where they can improve their customer experience. I thought that was cool. read more

I had Kongu Mutton Varuval. It was so tasty and delicious. WOW what a taste Food is excellent!!!!! read more

Have been wanting to try this South Indian specialty restaurant and stopped for a quick lunch. The menu has several unique options but decided to try the fish combo meal on this visit. The portion size was generous, and the flavors were spot on. Service was fast, efficient, and attentive. The staff checked in to make sure everything was satisfactory. Bottled water is thoughtfully provided. The location is convenient, right off MacArthur, with plenty of parking available. The space is roomy, and I was especially drawn to the captivating mural that tells the story of the restaurant. Pricing : Moderate Will I return? : For sure! I'm looking forward to trying their biryanis and other signature dishes next time. read more

Couldn't help myself so I went back! The food was so good! I tried potato dosa and chicken 69 this time around along with parotha with mutton curry. 10/10!!! The dosa was fantastic! All the chutneys were incredible as well! The place was filled with people during the week day yet again because the food is so good! There were people waiting outside because all the seats were taken. This is the best Indian restaurant by far! The only downside is that its a bit dirty but it doesn't impact thw quality of the food! read more

I don't offer 5 star reviews often. But Thiru Kuppusamy's is worthy of it! Fast service, we were seated within 3 minutes once a table was cleared. The servers would do rounds every couple of minutes offering refills on curries, rice, and everything else. Place was packed on a Saturday. The place will have wait times of around 30 minutes if you come at a peak time. We came at just before 1 and were seated pretty quickly. The food was delicious. All curries were tasty, spiced well, and heavy in protein. Rice was soft and fluffy. Yogurt was really thick and tangy in the best way. Favorite dishes were the goat and the fried fish. Excellent to eat with Yogurt Rice. The payasam is rumored to be good as well. It was the parupu kind. But I had no room in my stomach after eating the rice, curries, and roti's. Will be back when I'm in the Dallas area! read more

This place is exceptionally good. On my first visit, I ordered chicken biryani with a side of gravy, and I'd truly never tried anything quite like it. It was a rich, tangy, spicy, and slightly nutty curry with yogurt and rice that melted like butter. Their Masala Chai was as good as expected, and the service was super attentive. Five stars for this gem in Irving, TX. read more

I've been here several times, and it is hands down the best Indian food I've had. The first and latest times we had the all you can eat lunch that is NOT a buffet. Instead, they serve everything on a leaf and come top off whatever dish you want as requested. And it's the dishes that shine: spicy, flavorful, unique. My head was swimming every time I went. Outside of the weekends, they serve à la carte Indian food. We had that once and it was good. But the AYCE is incredible. I also appreciated the prompt and attentive service. And the free bottled water on eat table is a nice accommodation. To be honest, I could not tell you the name of the restaurant without looking at it. There's no name outside and the names of the dishes are also unfamiliar. But the experience is memorable and I highly recommend you try it. read more

The ambiance is ok, the place was clean. Service was friendly and attentive, which matters a lot for an unlimited thali type of service. We got both, the veg and non-veg thalis. Food was over all good, a bit too spicy for me. The fried chicken was my favorite. The baby corn preparation was yummy, however, not sure how authentic Indian it is. The menu listed Cauliflower 65, so not sure if was a substituion for that. Papads should be crisp, they had gone soggy... Over all, decent value for money. read more

We loved this place. This is one of the best South Indian restaurants in Irving. They were accommodating enough to make us some substitutions in our food. The service is excellent and the food tasted the best. We came here on a weekend for lunch; there was a little wait time, and it was also a little loud. The price is also very affordable. Would recommend this place for authentic South Indian food. read more

SUSPICIOUS PRACTICE The food is not fresh and my stomach feels pain after having the curry. Also I forgot and drop my cloth on the chair when im leaving. And around 1h later when I call them. They said they didnt find any clothes. Which is not possible. Dont drop your stuff like wallet phone in this restaurant. They will absolutely take it and trick you. read more

I ordered the fried fish, mutton soup and rasam rice. The food was very underwhelming. I have no idea why this place has high rating. The only thing you can taste it in the mutton soup and rasam is black pepper. Not the broth ot tomatoes or anf flavor. They should rename both to black pepper water . The fried fish didn't have a crispy exterior. It was more like baked fish. Not going to ever eat here ever again. Waste of money. read more

Went for a weekday lunch on tuesday. All 3 of us ordered Parotta. Veg Salna, chicken curry and mutton curry. My colleague said veg salna was good! Chicken and mutton curry were decent but both tasted the same. Parotta size felt small for price and additional parotta costs 3.99 which is a bit much for the size read more

Good casual South Indian restaurant with a good ambiance. Really enjoyed the mint-lime soda. They serve unlimited non-veg food from metal buckets, something I've never seen in Indian restaurants in America. It feels like you are eating out in India, A really unique experience! The food was also pretty good. A great place to come and get the authentic South Indian dining experience! read more

Thiru Kuppusamy Unavagam - Unlimited non-veg meal - Indian Near Me - Irving, Texas

Went for lunch on Sept 24th. Ordered mutton curry with paratha and one Chicken dynamite and Kongu chicken curry with paratha. Mutton curry was fine but its frozen paratha reheated. Chicken dynamite was worst, some chicken fried without any spices no salt no spice etc..By the time it was in plate just low temperature you can guess. The Kongu chicken curry was the terrible. The menu won't say what will be there in the dish/item. So you don't what you are going to eat. read more

Authentic, flavorful culinary delights from COIMBATORE, TAMIL NADU (SOUTHERN INDIA) with accents from KERALA at the recently opened THIRU KUPPUSWAMY ANAVAGAM in Irving, TX! As a blue blooded-foodie, I have learnt to appreciate South Indian cuisine from my South-Indian Aunties and neighbors back home, the ubiquitous Udipi restaurants in Mumbai, and from our extensive travels across South-India. Net net, I have evolved way beyond just a 'Idli-Dosa-Vada Dude' and cannot get enough of the potpourri of tamarind, coconut and curry leaves laced flavors, aromas, herbs, and spices that is the hallmark of the rich culinary heritage of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Kerala from SOUTHERN INDIA that is distinct and totally different from the NORTH-INDIAN cuisine served at most "Indian Restaurants" in the West! While most of us have been raised on delicious vegetarian South-Indian cuisine served up by the UDUPI Restaurants and high end restaurant chains like WOODLANDS and DASAPRAKASH across North-East-West India, I discovered the joy of spicy and novel non-vegetarian cuisine from the South only in Dallas. We checked out the recently opened THIRU KUPPUSWAMY ANAVAGAM in Irving, with its origins in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu in close proximity to Kerala and really enjoyed their relatively milder spiced MUTTON, CHICKEN and FISH delicacies and the sumptuous "Unlimited THALI" (a potpourri of multiple curries served up with rice, paratha and biryani) over the weekends which is indeed a foodie's delight! They also serve staples like the DOSAS, IDLIS and also quite a selection of KOTTU PAROTTAs with veg, chicken and mutton flavors. Our favorites on their menu thus far have been the MUTTON (AATU KAAL) SOUP, the MUTTON SUKKA VARUVAL (served bon-in or boneless), the KANYAKUMARI FISH FRY (deep fried, spiced Pomfret) and their signature KONGU MUTTON/CHICKEN BIRYANI which is their interpretation of the iconic 'THALAPAKATTU MUTTON BIRYANI' with the very same Seeraga Samba Rice, but slight variations in the spice profiles.....highly recommended! We have enjoyed the authentic Coimbatore syle cuisine served up in this modest "hole-in-the-wall" in Irving, run by the humble, gentle and self-effacing ARUN GANESAN and his wife DHARINI who personally supervise the kitchen and ensure consistent quality as well as personalized customer service at competitive price points...all compelling reasons to check this establishment especially for those of us who miss KUMAR's MESS in Irving/Coppell.

It wasn't there!! Went out after reading some good reviews and rating only to not find a restaurant there. Nothing over there. Masala Wok was there, if that's the one but certainly no south indian restaurant. read more

I would recommend this place only for their unlimited Thalis on the weekend, which is also a bit expensive. But it's an experience. However, The weekday Thali is a bummer when you see the quantity of food served and the amount you are paying!! I have been to this joint a few times & food was average tasting. It's pretty much same as Kumar's, Pandiya's & Kuppana. In my recent visit ordered non veg thalis & was disappointed with quality! Rice used was average grade, appetizer was warm but all curries were cold. Dissatisfied !!! Although Service was friendly & decent ambience. read more

Went for dinner tonight and purchased a KUPPUSAMY SPL KONGU MUTTON BIRYANI and a Pepper Chicken Fry with Gravy. Requested very spicy, South Indian spicy on both. Both dishes were terrible 1/ Hardly any meat in the biryani 2/ Meat lacked salt, not flavored 3/ Definitely made like fast food where mutton was just boiled and quick assembled together, not made fresh 4/ Both dishes not spicy 5/ Pepper Chicken Fry was terrible, had a sugary taste. There are many other restaurants in DFW area that are way better than this even at the 3 review level. This restaurant is not worth your calorie consumption let alone your money. Sorry to say this as I went in with fair expectations. read more

Disappointing experience. Will never be going back for the weekend thali. For $14 (after tax) the vegetarian thali was a joke. For what was served, it would cost $4 lesser, elsewhere. No chapati or Puri, no appetizers, seriously? $14 for this? The service wasn't good either. The order in which things should be served in a thali experience was non-existent. Ghee wasn't served along with rice. Had to ask for the papad to be served when we were halfway through. Pickle which is usually served in the beginning, was served after my husband finished his meal. The team definitely needs some training. read more

Went there for dinner has Ghee dosa which good but other than that the Tandoori Pomfret which was barely seasoned and fried which had that strong smell until we went home and had fired it with more seasoning which was disappointing. The only good thing was the Mutton Kolambu which was decent. But, I hope the restaurant owner would invest in the AC system because it felt like I was in India because so hot it felt like outside which was 100 felt good rather than inside of restaurant. Also the service was extremely slow which took them almost 1 hour to get us the menu and another 30 minutes to take the order. It was bit ironic because when were trying to ask for something I had to walk to the front of the store by the cashier to get assistance. read more

Kumar's isn't a bad place. The food is good, but have to give them 3 stars because of the slow service. Went there Friday evening and there was only one couple there. We had a group of 6, were seated immediately. But being the second group there, the service took forever. We did get a free appetizer for free after checking in. I got the dosa with onions and potatoes, it was not bad. The sambar was the highlight!! It was quite flavorful. Will return if the service gets better! read more

Great food. Authentic South Indian food. Just about everyone there ate with their hands. We had to ask for silverware. Loved eating all the food off a banana leaf! We had a big group, so we tried a bunch of things. Kuli Palaayan - fried rice balls with chutneys yummy and hot and crispy Poori Kelangam - huge beautiful pooris! Egg curry - great flavors Good idli and crispy naan. Their chutneys were all great but the garlicky coconut chutney was the best. The service wasn't the greatest or the fastest but that was because it was their lunch "buffet" where they would serve out to peoples tables. We ordered off the menu, and that took a lot longer. read more

Had a bad lunch experience. Went to the place on Saturday noon and the place was half occupied. They promptly got us a table but that's the only good experience I guess. We had to wait for 10 mins before anyone approached us for service. And the staff who approached was reluctant to explain the food options or give us a menu card. After a while when I finally got the meal, I had to literally wave and ask for every new serving. The food taste was pathetic and bland. To top it off when I finally asked for tea, they left tea and sugar with no stirrer. Ridiculous service and bad food. Regret wasting my Saturday afternoon. read more
